a plate of raw meat on a table
Kathleen F.

Cantonese style hotpot restaurant, recommended by a friend to come have a try. The meat quality is very good, we tried both lamb and beef, all very fresh and tendering. My friend loved their fried chicken, I tried one, really crispy, next time will take my daughter here to try. For improvement, hope they can put more effort to make the soup more tasty.

Beef tongue
Winnie S.

Decent Cantonese style all you can eat hot pot restaurant. They provide soy sauce and satay sauce and everything else is extra. Since it's an AYCE spot, I think they should just included the other sauces as well. They have some cooked items as well, the fried chicken wings was good. They offer wagyu beef but it's nothing spectacular, tastes like the basic beef you'd get at a nice hotpot restaurant. One thing I didn't like was the beef tongue, I think it would be a lot more appetizing if it was cut into thin slices instead of a big piece. Overall, good selection of food and decent quality for AYCE. Service was good. They were nice, polite, and offered dessert without us asking for it.

Actually one of the better AYCE hot pot places in town. Good price, and most important, some epic food selection. Parking is available in front outside of rush hour. There are also the side streets. This place probably has the best selection out of every hot pot place I've tried in town. Most places have 1-2 glaring omissions, but I was happy to find that that wasn't case here, as long as one doesn't count the non-free quail eggs. Yes there's a 2 oyster per person limit, but the oysters here are quite large. They even have pork uteruses, for those who like to see where pigs come from. The food here comes very quickly, and is very fresh. Special mention goes to their meat slices, which are paper thin and are bright red (ie fresh). Another special mention goes to their deep fried "snack" section, which is especially great when everything inside that pot of soup starts tasting the same. No other place I know of does this. I will definitely be back again to destroy myself. Recommended.

Menu

Expected so much from this place and felt disappointed because of satay broth. My sister and I freaked out from seeing oily bubbles in the soup. Whenever we ate cooked veggies and meat there was nothing but OIL. Yuck. DO NOT order peanut satay broth it's gross. Menu was good especially meat, veggies,seafood and snacks. Deep fried squid was YUMMY. It was hot and fresh you have to order this. Server was helpful. I ordered 1 on single items( quantity part was written in Chinese) and server came back explained misc, dumplings and seafood come as per piece. Also said meat and snack come as per dish. Good thing she helped since neither of us speak Chinese. Server added our bill incorrectly and later changed to the amount it should be. The total came around 53$ which is lesser than Little Sheep. The downside- dirty messy washroom. I almost walked out with toilet paper hanging on my shoes. Spent some time taking it off. Floor was greasy dirty. I nearly slipped myself while leaving the restaurant. Extra charge if you want sesame sauce, chilli and etc. NO all you can drink option or refill option on drinks. My overall rating is 2 stars since the broth was nasty. I felt desperate for chilli oil or heat afterwards. Plus the floor and washroom were dirty. Servers were good. Too bad nobody mentioned about the broth here.

Hands down the best ayce hotpot place I've ever tried. So why not 5 stars? As with most establishments there's always room for improvement, like the plum juice could be less sour, coconut dessert more flavorful and no extra charge for deep fried fish skin etc. But I'm really nitpicking here, cos where else can you find ayce wagyu beef and pea shoots right?

Spicy Szechuan/ Herbal Chicken broths
Byron C.

3.9 Stars There is free parking on Victoria Drive and the surrounding residential area. First impressions, it was pretty busy. The restaurant isn't that big, and well lit. We had a reservation for 3 people at 7:30pm and the table was ready as soon as we walked in. We ordered the half and half soup ( herbal chicken/spicy szechuan). The Spicy szechuan is pretty spicy. There is a wide variety of meats, balls, veggies to choose from. A few of the highlight items were wagyu beef, pea tips, and deep fried chicken wings (large size). Service during the meal was ok. They removed empty dishes really quickly. However I had to ask for a refill of our teas a few times and for them to top off our broths. This hot pot costs a little bit more than other, but the quality of meat is better i found, and they have the fried chicken wings. Overall Experience: Service - 7/10 Cleanliness - 7.5/10 Food - 9/10 Value - 7.5/10 Parking - 8/10

A great place for hotpot with a pretty wide selection of items to choose from. They even have sides that they offer which includes fried chicken wings and they are good!!! They taste like the ones you would get from the arberdeen food court! The only down side is they only give a small dish of satay sauce and there is no free refill option. Price wise it is relative to most hot pot restaurants where there is the per person price and price for the soup base. I believe I paid about $34 in the end with tax and tips included. Another plus about this restaurant is they serve oysters as well! There is a limit of 1 per person but they are large oysters and not many restaurants include them in their menu! A great place to go to for a hassle free hot pot without the cleaning in the end! And I would go back just for the chicken wings!

AYCE Hot Pot
PennyandRusty P.

Hot Pot season is upon us! Okay, who am I kidding? For many people in Vancouver, hot pot season spans the entire year... even during the hottest summer day. But I digress... Hot Pot joints in Vancouver has really started to sprout up everywhere - they're almost as popular as sushi joints. Jun Yuan is a hot pot restaurant located on Victoria Drive near E 41st, next to the BMO. For $21.95 per person, you pretty much get an AYCE menu of self-cooked meats, seafood, and veggies. The caveat is that you have to pay extra for the soup base (most are $7.95 and you pay $9.95 for two soup bases). If you're looking for the wild reishi (a type of mushroom), you'll have to pay an extra $29.95 for that soup base. In terms of sauces, they give you satay and soy sauce but you have to pay extra if you want to order some of their other dipping sauce items such as cilantro, sesame sauce, chili sauce, or garlic. We wound up ordering the sliced premium beef, the premium beef cube, sliced sirloin beef, sliced lamb meat, sliced premium pork, fish slices, shrimp, baby cuttlefish, squid, and imitation crab meat (we avoided most of the offal). In addition, we ordered the oysters (limit of 2 per person) which turned out to be huge! We rounded out our order with some homemade dumplings, wontons, fish balls, veggies, and udon. They do offer some cooked snacking food like the fried prawns and squid - both of which turned out to be rather good. Overall, the food wasn't bad. Like most hot pot places, we had difficulty fitting all of the food on our table. Since our table only had one heating unit, they had to bring out a portable unit and stretch an electrical cord for it across the floor (didn't look very safe).

Deep fried chicken wings
Simon L.

Interior - average. Not a fancy place. A bit crowded if having more then 6 people in a group. Service - better then average. Servers are attentive. Food are brought to the table fairly quickly. Food - lots of selections. They have small selections of deep fried foods. Good to have when waiting for your hotpot to get ready. I especially like their deep fried chicken wings. Too bad they charge for additional sauces. Overall a good experience. Will visit again. Reservation is recommended.

May Y.

Get their 29.99$ all you can eat hot pot! They have the best fried chicken wings there (cooked)! I know it's weird to get cooked chicken wings for ayce, but you can thank me later. Their service is okay and their soup base is on par with other Asian hot pot. Their milk tea is expensive (4.99) so look at the menu before ordering drinks. Their meat is high quality and I never had to pay for left over food. I couldn't handle their spicy Szechuan soup base (too spicy) but their peanut butter soup was heavenly! Careful with their ginseng one it's super bitter.

Sam L.

Good place for AYCE hotpot. About $30 per person or roughly thereabouts depending on what you get. They do charge for their sauce, chilli, eggs, etc. It can get a little on the expensive side depending again on how much you're eating and what you are getting for the sauce and condiments and what not. It does get busy, but perhaps that's because it's worth the price of admission for their food. First time here and I was stuffed! Recommended for hotpot for sure especially considering it is AYCE. There is a 1.5 hour time limit to order. Anything beyond that and they probably won't allow you to continue to place orders.

Chinatown

A Gastronomic Awakening in Chinatown! You don't truly know…read moreuntil you go--and now that I've been, I'm haunted. As I write this, I am literally still dreaming of the Hong Kong Style BBQ Pork. It didn't just "eat" well; it dissolved into a decadent, sweet, fatty puddle of pure bliss. Walking in, the vibe is quintessential Chinatown: a bustling counter, a glass case showcasing glistening roasted treasures, and a seating area that trades fancy decor for pure, functional authenticity. We were clearly out of our element, probably looking like deer in headlights, but the staff met our confusion with warm smiles. Then came Bobby--the absolute heart and soul of this place. We walked in expecting the standard American-Chinese routine, but Bobby whisked us away to a cozy table and treated us like family. He started us off with a fragrant jasmine tea so naturally sweet and floral it didn't need a grain of sugar--perfect for a biting winter night. While we flirted with the Happy Hour menu, Bobby took the reins. You don't say no to a man with that much charisma and passion! On his expert recommendation, we pivoted to the Two-Meat Combo (BBQ Pork + Soy Chicken) with a side of their famous Roast Duck. The food arrived in a lightning-fast 10 minutes, but the real treat was Bobby's play-by-play on how each dish was prepared. You can taste the pride in every bite. The balance was masterclass: a symphony of sweet, salty, and umami. The meats were succulent, the skins were shattery-crisp, and the glazes were perfectly sticky. The undisputed heavyweight champion, however, was that Hong Kong BBQ Pork. Imagine the best "burnt ends" of your life, drenched in a caramelized, mouth-watering sauce that demands your full attention. We left Chinatown BBQ feeling more than just sated--we felt enlightened. If you're looking for a "one in a million" meal, let Bobby order for you. You won't regret it.

Unbelievable. Came here on a whim. Not a huge menu, but…read morestraight to the point. The noodle soup was bland and boring. Should've stuck with rice. The char siu and soy sauce chicken were both cooked perfectly, moist and flavorful. The green scallion sauce was not necessary but it was still delicious ! Would've been great over rice. The extra fatty char siu the server gave me to try was over the top! Perhaps the best char siu I've had to date. My server, Bobby? Did a fantastic job and was very informative and I can tell he really likes what he does thru his enthusiasm

Absolute BEST dim sum I've had yet. Made to order, the food was hot, juicy, and tasted just right…read more Not greasy or oily, just pure juiciness. We tried to go to other places around town for dim sum but others were too busy or only took reservations. I'm so glad we ended up here. Portions are huge so be careful when ordering! We ordered a lot and ended up having plenty to take home after. 12/10 recommend this place for delicious dim sum!

Overall: 3.5/5 This was a last-minute family dinner, and…read morewith such a large group, Royal Palace had the seating capacity to comfortably host us. With about 9-10 people per table, we were treated to what felt like at least ten courses. There wasn't much time for photos, as conversation and catching up naturally took precedence. The standouts were the seafood fried rice and the green onion lobster and crab stir-fry -- rich, comforting, and generously flavoured, the kind of dishes that quietly anchor a long meal. It was a busy holiday weekend, and the restaurant was packed. Our original 7:00 p.m. reservation was delayed until 8:00 p.m., leaving many of us waiting outside in the cold. Once seated, the pacing felt off, with dishes arriving out of sequence, which gave the meal an oddly disjointed rhythm. A small apology or update from the staff would have been welcome, but none came. Overall, the food was very tasty, and I would consider returning -- particularly to explore more of their seafood offerings.

以高級餐廳來說食物品質已經不太行了。不過最讓人失望的是服務態度非常差。當天用餐人不多,但上菜速度卻非常慢,點了四道菜,結果兩道菜先上了,後面兩道等了45分鐘都沒上,想加點白飯和要水也等了很久才有人處理…read more整個過程都感覺被怠慢。 不知道是不是因為我們沒有點高價海鮮或其他高單價餐點,服務人員的態度顯得相當冷淡,讓人用餐體驗大打折扣。以這樣的價位來說,這樣的服務品質實在無法接受。整體感受非常差,不會再訪,也不推薦。 As a high end restaurant, the food quality was below average. However, what truly disappointed me was the poor service. Even though the restaurant was not busy, the dishes were served very slowly. The first 2 dishes came out fast, but the later 2 dishes came out after 45 min. When we asked for additional rice and water, we had to wait an unusually long time. Throughout the meal, we felt neglected. It was hard not to feel that the level of service was noticeably indifferent, possibly because we did not order any high-priced seafood or premium dishes. For a restaurant at this price point, the service was simply unacceptable. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience. I would not return and would not recommend it.

Came here for a Chinese wedding reception and the whole place was reserved for us…read more The food was a set menu and everything on it was yummy and well prepared. I like the way they portioned it and served each of us. They did not skimp out on the ingredients, such as if they say whole abalone, it really is. They definitely served the best seafood. The dessert also was amazing with the brown sugar cake and tapioca pudding. The only reason 1 star was missing was that parking was not that easy and service was mostly good. At times, some staff were not was attentive such as: they took the chopsticks away, but you still needed them. Still, Kirin is solid for it's dim sum and seafood!
